About

Michel Klein was born in France in 1958. He has mentioned that he was surrounded by family and friends who were involved in the world of fashion. He started sketching garments right from an early age.

In 1973 when he was only 15 years old, he sold some of his fashion sketches to the house of Yves St. Laurent and later to other leading fashion houses.

In 1975, when he was 17 years old, he joined the Paris house of Dorothee Bis, which operated a chain of stores in France.

In 1981, he left Dorothee Bis, and started his own label, in Paris, which was quite successful. In addition to his own designs, he also took over the house of Guy Laroche in 1993, after the designer died.

Klein remained at Guy Laroche till 1997.
